I hope all is well for each one of you as we battle through these challenging and troubling times. The Covid-19 Pandemic has literally changed the world in which we live, and I can only hope and pray that we can overcome this virus that has many of us unsettled, uncomfortable and uneased. I realize that I have not submitted any newsletter submissions since March and my apologies for this. That is not to say that regular band business has not been carrying on, but the virtual challenges has made things a little different for myself as your kwukwpi? with respect to meaningful engagement, social interaction and person-to-person dialogue. As we move forward in terms of our band business and service delivery, many members have asked me when our band offices will once again open. This is yet to be determined at the leadership level. Chief and Council have had discussions with senior Administration as of late and further discussions will ensue in the coming weeks. There is concern of the 2nd Wave of the Covid-19 virus as one reason why there may be apprehension to open offices at this time. Once we are certain and confident that all mitigating factors have been solidified and discussed at the appropriate level, a public announcement will be made. Stay tuned in the coming weeks. We have been continuing with regular Chief and Council meetings every Tuesday evening through Skype. This is an online procedure that keeps all of us social distanced and safe from potential exposure to Covid-19. Although this type of meeting process is not ideal to me, it is serving a very good purpose so that we as Council can conduct the necessary Band business that we need to do. We have had a few cancellations due to losses in our Community. As was directed at a Band General meeting last year, meetings will be cancelled and or postponed whenever there is a loss in our community. We have also included as of late, Director’s and Chief and Council meetings weekly as well. These meetings have proven to be very effective in terms of how we manage the pandemic challenges in our community. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our administrative team for their hard work and commitment during these difficult times. This is a teamwork approach and it does not come without its own challenges. As a Band organization, we are doing our absolute best for our people. We have provided some monetary support, food care packages and other supports. Yes, I realize that maybe everything could have been Page 3 Lower Nicola Indian Band Nʔeʔiyk Spíləx̣m June 2020 done this way or that way. I know that we have not pleased everyone in how we have done things, but we will continue to learn from this and do our very best to provide the best support and service that we can. I thank all of you for your support and patience as we move forward. As we carry on in our virtual world of Zoom meetings, skype meetings and conference calls, we are in definite need of a Band General Meeting! I have been canvassed by many band members asking me when we will be having a Band meeting. This is something that is on our Chief and Council radar and I am hoping that we can announce a Band general meeting very soon keeping in mind the health and safety of all of us. The pow wow arbor has been suggested as well as the Band school gymnasium as possible venues for a Band general meeting. Once we get further clarification as to “lifts” of social distancing from health authorities and the like, band gatherings will remain non-supportive. In closing, I just want to say that I wish all of you good health. Please be safe and be mindful that this pandemic is all around us. We are all at risk and it is very important that we all take the necessary measures to keep ourselves safe as well as our families. We need to do our due diligence and sanitize whenever possible. Wash your hands and try to refrain from touching your face. Use a glove at the gas station. Those nozzles are being used day in and day out. Wear a mask when you go to the grocery store or Walmart. The mask protects the people that you may encounter. Assume that everyone has the virus and continue social distancing. Stay at home!!! Be sure that any travel that you embark on is essential. Let us do our part in making our community’s safe from this harmful virus and take care of one another. Page 4 Lower Nicola Indian Band Nʔeʔiyk Spíləx̣m June 2020 5 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear LNIB Members, I am pleased to present our monthly report for April 2020. This month the operations of LNIB continue to operate remotely. Staff can be reached by phone and/or email and will do what they can to address your concerns. Let’s all do our best in protecting each other by physical distancing and staying home. Here are some of the things we are working on: Covid-19 Pandemic Assistance: During the month of May, membership received $200.00 worth of groceries per household. This was disbursed to member households on and off reserve within the Nicola Valley. For those who didn’t receive the groceries the head of the household received a $200 payment for their household.
